Pastors Learning Communities
We all need community. This is why The Chicago Partnership is organizing groups of 6-8 pastors that will commit to meeting once a month for five (almost!) consecutive months (October, November, January, February and March). These groups will include a meal, book discussion, fellowship, and prayer with other local pastors. TCP will cover the meals. Participants will be responsible for covering the cost of a book.
